They are as beautiful as the day they left

First, a brief summary of the last episode from the first season of "Princess Connect! Re: Diving", issued in Spring Season 2020. At the end of said season, Pecorine reveals his true identity (Princess Eustania) to the 'Gourmet Guild', also Yuuki learns a bit more about his powers'princess knight'.

Also, unlike the first season, for the premiere of Princess Connect! Re: Dive 2, the video game for smart phone is now available worldwide and celebrates its one-year anniversary in less than a week. As such, there is now a little more information as to where this second season's storyline can be reinforced and/or confirmed. However, I won't do it until the last chapter of this season, which will have 12 episodes. The reason is simple, you should check out the full story, both the one that was adapted in the first season and the one that this second season could cover.

Getting back to the main topic, it's been almost a two-year wait, but it's definitely been worth it. The calm Kokkoro, the always happy Pecorine and the expressive, tsundere, and selfish Karyl is priceless. Also, of course, the "lure with legs", Yuuki. This keeps its title with what is shown in Princess Connect! Re: Dive 2 - Chapter 1.

One of those trips

the plot of Princess Connect! Re: Dive 2 - Chapter 1 started off pretty easy with what I felt was a "filler" episode, but again made me believe in the calm before the storm. Just a little, but it worked. In any case, the story of this first episode is full of emotional ups and downs. Start quietly with the breakfast of the 'Gourmet Guild'. Featuring a fun trailer full of comical moments including Yuuki's "abduction" by the wolves, Karyl's conclusion about the meat they ate. And the ending with what seemed like a beginning would be a sentimental goodbye, only to be an abrupt and energetic one later.

The farewell between the old man and his relativesguild' At first of course I thought it was just going to be like that since he would be the only 'survivor' of them. However, it was a surprise to learn that he too was a ghost, only he hadn't been corrupted like the others. Something I made sense of, something along the lines that he knew so much about the coral forest, he had been there a long time with no opportunity to walk or walk."Furthermore“. Chained together with his companions.

All so that they wouldn't end up repeating the emotional goodbye they would do when they were cleansed by Kokkoro. They left abruptly and comically upon learning that the turtle, which they could not get to, was in search of "The Sea Dropwas actually male, so they couldn't follow in the legend's footsteps to get the spice.

Having said that, I must confess that I thought they were in a "tripsomething else. After all, Kokkoro had given Karin some mushrooms and received the card as thanks. So part of me fancied the possibility that one of the mushrooms was inedible and/or hallucinogenic, so they hadn't even actually left the house .

Technical details of Princess Connect! Re: Dive 2

Just like its predecessor "Princess Connect! Re: Dive 2' is encouraged by Cygames images. And you could see that in the quality of the animation, both in the design of the characters and in the special effects of the characters' magic and attacks. Keep the comedic details like Karyl's different facial expressions and details like the "rainbow vomit". Something pretty cliche in the anime but I appreciate that it was kept that way and they didn't change it to censorship pixelated, shows between pixel something grotesque.

The sound effects didn't disappoint either, they were the same ones I remembered from the first season. While it may be picky of me, I found its volume a bit high. Higher than it should to give balance to the scenes. Of course, there weren't many fight moments like it, and it only felt like that when Pecorine "princess strike' to create a window into a dense cloud. Other than that, it was comforting to hear all the characters' voices.

As for that service, I have a feeling it was mostly shown in silent scenes Echi. Something I expected. Well, it was the closeups of the faces and expressions/actions of the characters, for example when you could see Karyl sleeping in the beginning Princess Connect! Re: Dive 2 - Chapter 1. As I contemplated the possibility of this animated moment not being shown, I felt strange imagining that it was omitted. Especially when it has such an impact on one of this anime's biggest draws, the waifus.

As for the next episode, the previews already showed a transvestite Yuuki that I want to see to know how it ended like this, but above all to see the three girls of the 'Gourmet Guild' with idol-like clothes. But what caught my attention the most was that there will be a moment when Karyl is tied up in a certain way.
